I fell asleep watching Dig! for the millionth time last night. It's on YouTube in all its 90s video cam glory. Seriously don't think there will ever be another music documentary like it, Ondi Timoner got insanely lucky that two of the bands she was constantly filming ended up doing... all they did.

Dig! is a rockumentary GOAT. Anton is such a piece of poo poo but incredibly funny to watch be that piece of poo poo. The fight on stage is a classic and that whole movie is just endless good quotes.

"Broke my sitar mother fucker"

The DVD has some hidden scenes you can access by watching out for a symbol and hitting "enter" on your remote and they are incredible.

It used to be really trip me out as a fan being able to walk into the Amoeba in SF and see Joel working behind the counter.

Watch The Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story instead. Less theme park engineering and more behind the scenes of the production of TV shows, but lots of nostalgia.

I think they do but it's not live (replays only) and it's behind the paywall. loving stupid.

The fact that it was almost impossible to stream the opening ceremonies in the US in 2021 is unbelievable to me. NBC has seemingly different content on the NBC, NBC Sports and Peacock apps, and none of those apps let you watch the ceremony live. The only way to do that was to go to nbcolympics.com. The apps also require a cable subscription to view anything. I hate it!

Dig! is amazing. Anton and Courtney are both insufferable in their own ways, but I love how they both can go on a several minute rant just trashing the other band and then finish by saying how much they respect and love the songwriting and music.

Crossposting from our theme park thread but the team that did this did The Toys That Made Us and it's that same terrible quirky editing style of cutting sentences together with previous dialogue bits and random sound effects, and it sucks so much considering who they're interviewing. I wanted another Imagineering Story but this ain't it. It's still interesting but I cannot stand the editing.

I saw this warning but was bored last night and watched the first episode anyway. Bad idea, it was even worse than expected. There is some really interesting footage you want to see more of, but then they'd cut back for the 5th time to a weird looking seal from an early nature doc. And all the goofy rear end music, and terrible punny narration. It was like an early 00s clip show, like MaxEx or some poo poo.

Just point me to all the old raw footage with some on screen text info dumps and I'd be happier than this poo poo.

WHY? So many better movies were cut at a hour and forty-five. I invested two and a quarter in this......

Props to John Travolta and Nick Cage. They were very good in their roles. Doesn't change the fact that this movie sucked....bad.

face/off is one of the greatest action movies ever filmed. hth

Underworld is on Netflix and it might be the most mid 00's movie ever made.
- Vampires vs Werewolves
- Matrix aesthetic taken to the extreme (catsuits and trenchcoats, John Woo-esque gun battles, always night in a thunderstorm)
- that move where someone is sliced in half so perfectly it's not apparent at first there was even a cut until their top half slides off the rest. There's a lot of this in resident evil. This movie features probably the longest pause between the slice and the slide ever attempted
- nu metal soundtrack

I actually liked 95% of the original Resident Evil. We got done and I told my friends the only thing I didn't like was Milla doing Matrix style flips and attacks on the dogs. Pretty sure I cursed the franchise with that statement.

And the laser grid scene was taken straight out of Cube.

My favorite thing about Underworld is you have a perfect set up for some cool fights between two supernatural creatures: werewolves and vampires...but instead they just shoot each other with guns.

combining a few different topics, the best and most embarrassing example of this I can think of is Tay Diggs getting his face/off moment in Equilibrium, just getting slashed and then slowly turning around as my face slides off, it's called acting!

Everything in Equilibrium is simultaneously the best and most embarrassing. Taye Diggs. Gun kata. the fact that the Clerics' guns have crosses for muzzle flashes. the entire conceit of "what if 1984 but Winston was a badass"

It's one of my favorite movies. :allears:

I first heard about Equilibrium when I was 10 or so. It was apparently super cool and violent, but I couldn't figure out how to torrent it so I could watch it. There was one week where I was staying with my grandpa who was a pretty old-fashioned religious guy. We went to Blockbuster and I got really excited when I saw Equilibrium there and asked him if we could rent it. He looked at it and said "Rated R?! I don't think so," and then looked closer and said "Oh, just for violence, yeah sure." I stayed up all night watching it, it was so :krad:

Thank you grandpa and thank you America for your hosed up attitudes towards violence and sexuality.

There were several people with different conclusions. Everyone had someone else to blame for what happened. But everybody wants a boogeyman. I think it was pretty simple. A couple hundred thousand hormonal early 20s people....in lovely conditions....listening to aggressive music all day.

I don't think anyone was necessarily blame worthy. Hell....who's fault is it that a bunch of people were hospitalized because it was way too hot? Who's fault was the sexual abuse other than the poo poo head individuals engaging it? Certainly wasn't Fred Durst's fault. You could definitely say that the organizers were in over their heads and didn't plan great. But people die at music festivals sometimes. Bonnaroo averages close to one per year I believe. Coachella has seen several. It happens.

As for the poor conditions.....I guess I'd need to hear from someone who'd been there. The airfield that they held it was huge. I find it highly unlikely that the conditions portrayed were festival wide. Wasn't it a mile between main stages? I have little doubt that there were tons of campsites that were away from the poo poo shown in the doc. My guess is that the folks who had it the worst were nearer to the stages, and weren't well prepared to spend four days outside in that kind of heat.

One thing Woodstock 99 hit on was the anger between the TRL fans. I used to avidly watch TRL during that era, and I remember the anger was real between the rock and pop fans. All these different groups were all forced to compete for the same limited airtime, and inevitably it was almost always a boy band in the number one spot week after week, often the same video for months at a time. It's funny, even though I'm definitely a rock fan (although more of the newer indie rock kind, and not so much the nu-metal they featured a lot back then), many of the pop songs that were on TRL have held up much better than those rock songs. Although I was surprised at how well I remembered all those rock songs featured in the documentary even after not having heard any of them in over 20 years.

The best TRL moment was when "The Duel of the Fates" from the Phantom Menace made it to #1 on TRL.

Also, Dave Holmes who was interviewed in the documentary. They had that Wanna Be a VJ contest, for random people to compete to become a new MTV VJ. The final two got down to Dave Holmes, a charismatic man who has a near photographic memory of any song recorded over the last 50 years, and Jesse, this goofball who was like Kelso from That 70s Show, except way dumber.

Jesse won, and MTV was like, gently caress. So, they honored their contract, and hired Jesse as a VJ, but relegated him to standing with the crowds of screaming fans in Times Square, while they had Dave, the runner up, actually in the studio hosting shows, and interviewing guests.
